Well, it's almost Thanksgiving. And what do we do during Thanksgiving? Stuff our faces, of course!
Parenting is so much harder than I thought it was going to be. It's also better than I could have imagined despite the constant reminders of how I'm doing it wrong (depending on the doctor or countless blogs and articles on the internet).
Here's another. This article talks about how the 'Cry it Out' method will harm your child's development. I particularly like the part about how parents used to have much more support from extended families than they do today.
And when you google 'cry it out support' you get countless stories of how this method works and how parents are getting full nights of sleep with no long term damage. (although I'm not sure how you could measure that)
So we're basically screwed no matter what we do. Which just strengthens my resolve to do what I think is best for my family. I need to remember this when I notice other parents making choices that don't align with my parenting choices.
But to the guy who peeled out of the gas station playing window shaking music, I doubt very much your kid in the back seat is old enough or tall enough to go without a child seat. And have fun paying for whatever therapy is needed to correct his hearing loss. Ass.
